You know how kids are. For the last 48 months, Yummy has been planning his birthday party. He had a deadline to decide on a theme. As soon as he said "Monster Trucks!" he started planning next year's party, 13 months away.

Which leaves me two weeks to plan a Monster Truck Party.

I've booked a picnic area and made invitations. I didn't think I would need to make invites--I figured Monster Trucks would be everywhere--but I hunted in two party stores and decided to stop wasting time and went to the craft store.

What I We Made:

Monster Truck invitations. Yummy found the truck stickers and I found the cards, envelopes, scrapbook paper and sandpaper. Yummy ripped, I glued, Yummy stickered, I wrote. Then I realized all this blogging has destroyed the tiny bit of legibility my handwriting used to have so I used my printer, then ripped and glued some more.

The best part was running lego tires through paint and then driving them on the envelopes to make tracks.

I think they're darned cute. Better than anything the party store could sell.

Of course next year there will be a whole wall of Monster Truck party stuff and Yummy will want an underwater space monkey theme.
